D.1.5.1 Installing or Upgrading the OpenVMS Provisioning Plug-in for HP SIM
The OpenVMS Provisioning Plug-in for HP SIM enables HP SIM to support provisioning of
OpenVMS. Follow these steps to acquire and install the plug-in or upgrade an existing version
of the plug-in:
1.
Download the HP OpenVMS Provisioning kit (ZIP file) from the following website:
2.
Extract the ZIP file to a folder on your Windows server. Navigate to this folder, and
double-click the InstallOpenVMSProvisioning.jar file and click the Install button
on the resulting installer wizard window. The OpenVMS Provisioning for HP SIM installation
wizard indicates the completion of the installation or upgrade of the provisioning components
and the update of HP SIM deployment tools.
NOTE:
If you double-click on the .jar file and a Windows popup message indicates that
Windows cannot open the file, enter the following command at the MS-DOS prompt after
changing the current directory to the folder where the provisioning kit ZIP file was extracted:
java -jar InstallOpenVMSProvisioning.jar
3.
If your OpenVMS InfoServer or vMedia is configured properly, you can use HP SIM to
provision (deploy) OpenVMS. However, first make sure HP SIM can discover and identify
the MPs of the Integrity servers that are to be provisioned.
D.1.5.2 Discovering and Identifying Your New Provisioning Client Management Processors
On any Integrity server that is to be provisioned by HP SIM, the iLO 2 MP must be connected
to the network, and HP SIM must be able to discover and identify the Management Processors
(MP). For information about connecting your iLO 2 MP, see the appropriate documentation for
Integrity servers.
You can configure HP SIM to automatically discover iLO 2 MP ports in the network. But in some
cases you might need to manually discover a port that you have recently turned on. The procedure
in this section describes how to use HP SIM to discover a newly introduced iLO 2 MP port. This
is a one-time procedure. For more information on using HP SIM, see the HP SIM User Guide.
To determine whether your system iLO 2 MP has already been discovered, access the HP SIM
home page and select System and Event Collections -> All Management Processors in the
left-hand panel. The following is an example of an HP SIM All Management Processors listing.
